Aspinal of London

[JenJBS]

Count me in as another fan of this new mint color. I especially like it in the croc, as on the Wayfair. Sort of wish they’d done the hat box in this shade too.

Oooh now that is a problem!!! Literally when I looked the other day, I don’t think these were listed. HMMM.

I sorta want to get the hatbox in a colorway I don’t have already, and I literally just got a minty green bag last month. Ugh decisions.

I love this look too!
This is a beautuful color.
Still, I'm waiting for the perfect pink.

That pink they previously had looked like SUCH a nice pink. Not that I need another pink bag, my collection of pink bags is about to swell.

They may have just added them to the site. Considering how many purple bags I have, I can't say a word about not getting a bag the same color as the bag I got last month...

Haha you are an enabler! But, purple is your signature color right? So I feel like it makes sense to have many.

On that note however, I would have said green is my ‘signature’ color for handbags and I only have two green bags right now…

So you definitely need a third...

So I am more or less in agreement with you that another mint green bag is ok, esp since this is so different than the other one I got.

The problem is that I’ve also been leaning heavily towards getting the Polene Huit in the green. This and the Aspinal are certainly different shapes but they are both smaller ‘jewel box’ types of bags so I doubt my collection needs both. Which would you get?

This is hard, since I love both brands. Since you're going with a matching color, I'd say whichever style is the least like the two mint bags you currently own.

Well it’s just one mint green bag that I have now. It’s a medium sized top handle with a flap and tie accents (Celine belt bag). So technically neither the Aspinal or the Polene is similar to that one. I suppose the Polene is more similar thematically to the Celine aesthetic but in some ways I actually like that.

In that case, I'd vote for the Polene.

Just got my Harper bag in khaki. I switched out the strap for a cloth one to lighten it up for the spring. The bag is beautifully made (my pictures don't do it justice). It's just gorgeous. My last bag was a Hermes and the quality of this one is right up there.

Oh wow I am on a bag-buying ban and these are soooo tempting. Beautiful colours for spring/summer

I am pulled toward this one. Having seen many of your other bags in other threads, this feels like it belongs in your collection somehow. And the shape is so gorgeous and unusual.

Thank you for your thoughts - I can see what you mean in some ways, I don’t necessarily have a lot of super structured bags like the hat box is.

I’m sort of torn even more now because I realized I could go for the Mayfair and do something like this, which is killing me. I definitely have too much time on my hands, lol.

The mayfairs are great bags! Beautifully made. I have two regular sized ones and I have been wondering about selling one of them to get a midi-mayfair like the one here.
